A well that was built with bricks that were made during the 9th and 10th century was discovered at an archaeological site in Ha Noi’s Dong Ngac Commune.
The well was discovered while the archaeologists were working on excavating two tombs that were built during the first century and the fourth-sixth century that were unearthed earlier this month.
More than a week later, the archaeologists discovered 27 objects including pottery, iron nails, a broken copper bowl and a glass string.
A pottery vase that is shaped like a rooster is considered to be the most valuable artefact that was discovered.
